Trying something to look cool and different is exactly why I was thinking of doing it. So now I will try to paint it to "look" chrome. You can tell I like chrome, unlike most on this forum. My black 96 came with lost of chrome so I embrace it and go with my 2 color theme (black and chrome)...
Thanks for the feedback on polishing these 4runner rims. Since the sides of the spokes are rough and meant to be painted, I think it will be too much of a PITA to sand to a smooth surface. I'm gonna strip the clear coat and paint. Thanks again so I don't waste time and energy for not.

I have been searching this forum but could not find a detailed installation of fog lights for my 1996 SR5. I did not get the fog lights when I purchased my 4Runner and always wanted them.
